Positioning on Curb —

 

Position unit on roof curb so that the following clearances

 

are maintained: 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) clearance between the

 

roof curb and the base rail inside the front and rear, 0.0 in.

 

clearance between the roof curb and the base rail inside on

 

the duct end of the unit. This will result in the distance

 

between the roof curb and the base rail inside on the

 

condenser end of the unit being approximately equal to

 

Fig. 3, section C-C.

 

Although unit is weatherproof, guard against water from

 

higher level runoff and overhangs.

 

After unit is in position, remove the compressor access

 

panel. Holding the blocking between compressors with

 

one hand, cut the strapping. Carefully remove the

 

50TCQA

blocking without damaging tubing, wiring, or controls.

Remove the strapping and replace the access panel.

Remove all shipping materials and top skid. Recycle or

dispose of all shipping materials.

 

Step 7 — Convert to Horizontal and Connect

 

Ductwork (when required)

 

 

Unit is shipped in the vertical duct configuration. Unit

 

without factory-installed economizer or return air smoke

 

detector option may be field-converted to horizontal

 

ducted configuration. To convert to horizontal

 

configuration, remove screws from side duct opening

 

covers and remove covers. Using the same screws, install

 

covers on vertical duct openings with the insulation-side

 

down. Seals around duct openings must be tight. See

 

Fig. 6.

Fig. 6 - Horizontal Conversion Panels

Field-supplied flanges should be attached to horizontal duct openings and all ductwork should be secured to the flanges. Insulate and weatherproof all external ductwork, joints, and roof or building openings with counter flashing and mastic in accordance with applicable codes.

Do not cover or obscure visibility to the unit’s informative data plate when insulating horizontal ductwork.

Step 8 — Install Outside Air Hood

Economizer Hood Removal and Setup - Factory Option

1.The hood is shipped in knock-down form and located in the return air compartment. It is attached to the economizer using two plastic tie-wraps.

2.To gain access to the hood, remove the filter access panel. (See Fig. 7.)

3.Locate and cut the (2) plastic tie-wraps, being careful to not damage any wiring. (See Fig. 8.)

4.Carefully lift the hood assembly through the filter access opening and assemble per the steps outlined in Economizer Hood and Two–Position Hood on page 10.
